Miracles Of Modern Medicine: Weight Loss Pills For Dogs

Lazy pet owners, rejoice! [The FDA has approved Slentrol], a weight loss pill designed for obese dogs.

The story of Slentrol's development should give you some insight into who really matters, at least to prescription drug giant Pfizer. The drug had initially been designed for humans, but once Pfizer scientists discovered that it could be used on dogs, they abandoned all human research on the product.

No word yet on availability, so until then you might have to just keep walking your dog to keep him from getting fat.
